Lungs Europe

Established in November 2019, Lungs Europe is a Brussels-based organisation which is an official partnership between the European Lung Foundation (ELF) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS). Lungs Europe is well placed to play a significant role in EU funding programmes and projects related to respiratory health and disease, supported by the stakeholder networks of ELF and ERS.

• ERS is the largest scientific and clinical organisation in respiratory medicine in Europe. Its members are scientists, clinicians, allied healthcare professionals and other experts from around the world.
